Their spirits are extremely high. They are truly appreciative of any and all contact from their comrades still serving in Afghanistan, including the Soldiers and Families supporting from Fort Stewart, Lt. Col. Cunningham said.

"The Army Family is important. We are committed to our deployed Soldiers and proud of the sacrifices that they and their Family make each and every day," Lt. Col. Cunningham said.

Currently, the Third Infantry Division has Soldiers deployed throughout Afghanistan. It is a difficult time for both Soldiers and Families.

The command team also wanted to remind everyone that it is important to let our Soldiers know that we are supporting them back home.

"Soldiers should contact their home detachment command teams for ways they can show gratitude and support to our fellow 3rd ID deployed military personnel who risk their lives so that we can enjoy the blessings of freedom and security," said Command Sgt. Maj. Alexis Ayala, Command Sergeant Major, 1st Battalion, 9th Field Artillery.
